I have been following the multiplayer tutorial (workshop #25) and when it says to start the engine with -cl and -sv I do that. Then when I go back to make the client only window, all that shows up is a black screen.

Any help?

Here is a link to some pictures:

I was wondering why it didn't work for me either.

It seems that no matter what I try to do, it still loads a black screen even if the engine says the client connects to the server.

I didn't explain it, but the link I posted says that the Multiplayer will not work with the trial version. It will work in trial mode with the new 8.0 betas that are available for download in the "Announcements" forum section.

I am not using the trial version though. I have the full commercial edition of A7.

which Version of Commercial do you have?
Maybe because there was one Version i think it was A7.84(but iam not sure) where the multiplayer didnt work.

In SED it says that my version is 7.36.0. Is this the version with the problem?

and what about WED help/about?

It says the commercial edition is 7.84 and WED is 6.944

you should update
